Denison Organizational Culture Survey
Denison Organizational Culture Survey
What is Organizational Culture?
Organizational culture is an organizational-level construct that measures organizational behaviours and practices as a whole It refers to the values, beliefs and behaviours that determine how a company’s employees and leaders undertake business transactions to realise business strategy.
Change Your Culture to Improve Your Performance.
We all want to perform better with time. Higher performance brings better benefits both to the organization as well as to clients. Sometimes it becomes obvious that what holds back performance is the way leaders as well as employees think and act.
Conducting an organizational culture survey based on the Denison Model provides a clear picture of what your organization needs to do to achieve higher performance. Our survey will benchmark you against 1,000+ organizations and provide you with a baseline to measure future improvements against.
Through our research, Denison Consulting has identified four key drivers of high performance—mission, adaptability, involvement, and consistency—that indicate where to focus. We’ve developed the Denison Culture Model that measures these four drivers reflected in four primary colors. Simply put, the more color, the better the results.
While organizations recognize that culture has a direct impact on performance—improving quality, safety, retention, profitability, EBITA—it’s often unclear what changes are needed. Our team of experts can guide your organization to make decisions that will directly impact the performance measures you care most about.
Through the cumulative responses from the survey, you will gain insight on questions like:
- Does your team understand your mission and where you’re headed?
- Do they believe the firm can stay competitive and adapt to changes in the market?
- Are your people involved, and do they feel they have the training they need?
- Are your values clear and being lived out through consistent processes?

How to build a Strong Organizational Culture?
Create a culture that drives strong results by focusing on a clear mission, adaptability, employee involvement, and consistent customer value delivery.
Process:
- Assessment: Evaluate the current culture by examining how well it embodies the desired traits (mission, adaptability, involvement, consistency).
- Analysis: Identify strengths (leverage points) and weaknesses (blind spots) based on the assessment.
- Improvement: Implement initiatives that encourage collaboration and drive incremental improvements to address the weaknesses and build on strengths.
Essentially, it's about taking stock of where the organization stands, identifying areas for improvement, and then working collaboratively to cultivate a culture that supports high performance. This approach emphasizes continuous improvement and recognizes the importance of employee involvement in shaping the culture.
